Description
Wow, this took longer then expected. All of this work and I don't typically expect to color this one.There are a few people to thank for this one
Thank you for your help with the perspective and a few other people from the forum i made who did reply.
Thanks Florian for answering all of my questions even if they were dumb ones lol.
Thanks to for allowing me to use her wonderful cosplay as a reference, without this picture this probably would have ended differently and not to my liking, so thanks again! I hope you enjoy the result.
Reference used is here:
Check out her work, it's awesome!
I used a lot of references, but the main ones i used were [link] and [link] .
There are a lot of mistakes, and a lot of things i had trouble on. Somethings I felt too lazy to do, hence why this took longer then it should have. God, there felt like there was a lot of stitching to be done and shoes in this one. I hate shoes with a passion lol
Like i said there are some flaws, but i hope it's enjoyed either way. I had fun drawing this.
And as always FEEL FREE TO COLOR!
Make sure to send me a link of your work and credit me.

this has turned out great. it's a bit of a shame you don't think you'll colour it.

yeah, i'm not that great at coloring. Things that i try to make simple end up being massive pictures.
I need something to practice with but things just never end up being simple with me lol.
Thanks

haha, yeah, i know what you mean. that's why i tend to stick to graphite shading rather than colouring these days, although i had a bit of a shot at it again a little while ago. (the whole if you don't practice you'll never get better, blah blah blah

yeah i know. I just have this thing that if it doesn't look good it'll disappoint me.
My coloring and drawing skills are not on the same level. I guess it's b/c i've started drawing realistically and my coloring skills are like back when i was doing anime stuff... if that makes sense lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i understand. i'm in a similar thing. my shading looks more realistic than my colouring because my colouring looks more like cartoons. it's difficult to get everything all on the same level (especially since people are their own worst critics more often than not.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, i agree wholeheartedly.
but i guess we should both just go for it...

every little bit of practice is a little bit closer, and a new lesson learned. i've learned how to mix one colour into some of my drawings with a level of success, just to add more interest and detail. it also brings out some of the contrast better. it's only a small step, but i've been liking the results and that encourages me to work on it more.
and lets face it, if we were to ever do a really horrible job, there's no rule that says we have to upload it, or even ever admit to it's existence. lol.

lmao, yeah i was thinking that way too. It just doesn't exist, simple as that.
that's awesome to hear. What do you color with?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
just coloured pencils, i need to find a good quality brand that i can afford (and how to use them properly, lol)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
there's a small trick i use for the colors to smooth. So there won't be any white spots from the texture of the paper.
if you color with what color you wish, could be lightly or hard, place a coat of white color pencil on it, lightly or hard and then place the same color originally and the color just glides on it. There's still some texture but it looks better then before.
you probably know that already but just in case. What's the trick you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i actually didn't know that. i'll defiantly keep it in mind. usually i use the shavings from the pencils (not the wood bits obviously) and a q-tip (rather than my fingertip) to help even out the colours as much as i can.

i hope it helps.
That's coo' much interesting then using a tisse, which is sometimes what i would do in classes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i used to use tissues too and they're still good in a pinch, but i found the q-tip had much better control, and i didn't get it all over my hands to smug mess all over the place. lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah and it turns out q-tips aren't even for you ears lmao.
weird.
But that'd be one way to use them, i'll do so whenever i do traditional work, which may be soon considering i'm going to start taking art classes soon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i know right, and i'm pretty much convinced that's the only reason why people buy them. lol.
good luck with your classes
